Ken Forrester The FMC 2024

Marco Andretti — Ken Forrester does it again

9/10

I've been a fan of Ken Forrester for a while and the FMC 2024 is excellent. Ripe fruit but not jammy at all, really well structured with a finish that lingers just the right amount. 14% ABV but it doesn't feel heavy. One of the better reds I've had this year.

7/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and figured I'd try it. It's well made — nothing out of place, nice bright acidity, clean finish. But at this price point I was expecting something that really blew me away and it was more quietly impressive than exciting. Good with our steaks though.

Dmitri Volkov — Proper Saturday night wine

8/10

Had this at a dinner party last weekend and immediately asked the host where they got it. Really expressive on the nose, you can smell it as soon as you pour. The acidity keeps everything lively and it just kept getting better as the evening went on. Already ordered a bottle for myself.
